Is Indonesia running out of fuel?
00:02
People have to wait in line for hours to get fuel
00:04
because there's only one source of gasoline,
00:07
the state-owned provider Pertamina,
00:08
and this has been the case for months.
00:17
Private stations like Shell and BP do exist,
00:20
but they cannot simply import fresh fuel from abroad
00:22
because that would exceed the fuel import quota set by the government.
00:26
Their only option is to buy fuel from Pertamina at its rates
00:28
and resell it to customers,
00:30
a business that is far from lucrative.
00:32
Experts criticize the government's approach.
00:55
Next year, fresh quarters will allow private stations
00:57
to import their own fuel again.
00:59
But unless those quarters grow with demand,
01:01
the same problem may return, and so could the queues.
